Abstract

Apparatus for providing energy management with automation control features are invented. Power consumption details for building or household can be known as well as the expected power bill in advance. The operation status of specific appliance can also be monitored and controlled. Wireless technology is used as a communication medium with a plurality of appliances which facilitates the management of energy consumption with different applications, like checking the operation status, operating hours and consumption data. An advanced feature of communication with the utility provides power information and instant messaging to users. A consumption target can also be set to economize the electricity bill.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to the field of energy management system and more particularly to apparatus and methods to provide energy management features for user to monitor and control power consumption of a plurality of devices and light switches for energy saving purpose.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Energy Management has become a highly prevalent issue in recent years, due to the increasing concerns about the global warming phenomena and its detrimental effects it is causing to our environment. Global warming refers to the increase of the average temperature on Earth, and is largely a result of the increased atmospheric greenhouse gases caused by human activities over the past 20 years. These human activities include the burning of fossil fuels for producing energy such as electricity, but burning fossil fuels is also one of the largest contributors to global warming due to the vast amount of the greenhouse gas CO2 that is produced. The...
